The Yaesu website is partially back. You'll likely need to install xCHM to read the documentation. Grumble. Grumble.
I can send you the .zip if you like.
thanx,,,

I found two web pages that together suggest that the device is actually using an FTDI chipset internally.
The first is actually an entry in the CHIRP issue tracker:
They tore the device open and found an FTDI chip inside. They also added the IDs to allow the driver to load, but it didn't seem to be working. The suggestion is that the driver needs to have these ids added to it.
The other is a product brochure from RATOC that suggests using an FTDI driver package with their converter (but this was on Android, of all things). Still, it points to FTDI as the right chipset.
I started to see if I could download the Yaesu driver for Windows and take it apart to see what actual driver was inside, but for some reason I cannot get to the Yaesu website.

At this moment the radio isn't connected to the cable as it is being recharged.
